Now You Can Own This Crazy 13-Foot Robotic Exoskeleton

Suidobashi Heavy Industry has just introduced the finished version of its heavy-duty robot dream machine at the Wonder Festival in Tokyo. Since we last saw Kuratas, it’s grown a foot taller and gotten hold of a ball-bearing Gatling gun that fires 6,000 pellets per second. Yowsa.

Kuratas is modeled to be a human shaped tank with a head, two movable arms, and a four-wheel diesel engine platform that lets the bot go up to 6.2 miles per hour. You can control the mech by either climbing into the command chair and using joysticks or use a 3G smartphone as a remote control.

All this awesome comes direct from Suidobashi Heavy Industry with a roughly 100 million Yen price tag (that's around $1,353,500 at current exchange rates). Of course, you can add options to your mech with a custom paint job or your choice of weapons including a shield, claw, spike-driver, as well as some kind of water missile launcher. After all, if you're going to pay that much on a robot, what's another few hundred thousand dollars?
